Woe{H1945} to them that go down{H3381}{(H8802)} to Egypt{H4714} for help{H5833}; and stay{H8172}{(H8735)} on horses{H5483}, and trust{H982}{(H8799)} in chariots{H7393}, because they are many{H7227}; and in horsemen{H6571}, because they are very{H3966} strong{H6105}{(H8804)}; but they look{H8159}{(H8804)} not unto the Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478}, neither seek{H1875}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}!
